Did some autocrossing (SoloII) Sunday. It was my first time, my best time was 74seconds. I think the best of the say was around 60seconds. I forgot to check my time before I left, but i really, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to going again on the 12th, but that's pending on weather, and if I'm going back to Virginia that weekend.
(You can get a better idea of my rear taillight mod, looks better in these pics with the non-broken lenses.)
On the 3rd run, my rear battery came loose and bounced around, thank god it's a Optima. It was bungee'd down, and survived the Ottawa cruise no problem, but apparently SoloII is a little more violent that that, LOL. So today I did some cleaning back there. I had a stock battery tie-down i purchased for the rear battery about 2 years ago, but never installed it, so I put it in today. It's also encased in a plastic battery holder, just to make sure nothing touches the terminals, if it does manage to come loose.
Also, while I was in the trunk, I decided to so some adjusting on my rear strut bar. It's the corksport version so I can screw the mounts in to the bar to shorten or lenghten the bar, and it was farily loose. I turned each end a good 3-4 times, she was snug getting it back in there, and took a little convincing, which is what I wanted. Was thinking, maybe it would explain why I didn't notice a difference when I installed her, but I did on the front, but the front was a snug fit. Also during the SoloII day, I was marshalling with a guy who's been racing for a few years now,and has an older Civic. He highly recommends an LSD for autocrossing, so now I'm more anxious to get mine in, but that's in the "off-season" while she's stored for the winter. As much as i hate winter and that I can't drive her, I'm kinda anxious for it to come so I can get that stuff done.
Also got word that apparently my car's been targetted a few times in the last year by theives, apparently they have an eye in my LCD monitor. I'm not going to say how I know this, but word is it's a recent target again. Although I won't get a chance this week, and I'm going camping this long weekend, I've got a few more ideas I've been meaning to implement since last year, I think next week I'll be starting on those. What they are, well, that's for my to know, and for no one else to
Since I got some nice pics, thanks to my girlfriend
